Aims / Priorities: Through Action Together on behalf of Oldham Council, Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) makes funding available annually to support projects that help to achieve the priorities of the GM Hate Grime Plan. A new Plan for 2024-2028 has just been launched and you can read it in more detail here (the Plan).
Grants are available for events and activities that contribute to achieving any of the priorities of the Plan:
- Improving education around hate crime – for example encouraging and equipping residents to report when they witness a hate crime
- Prevention and early intervention around hate crime – such as working with partners to improve visibility around action that is being taken by them to tackle hate crime
- Bringing communities together to tackle hate crime – for example encouraging communities to share different views to promote cohesion and friendship
- Increasing communication and awareness of hate crime and its consequences – such as promoting public awareness campaigns to your communities
- Increasing the confidence to report hate crime – for example by informing communities of the support available when reporting hate crimes and promoting the ways of reporting hate crime
- Improving support for victims of hate crime – such as increasing awareness of the services available to victims of hate crime
Applicants should aim to hold events and activities during the Greater Manchester Hate Crime Awareness Week which is taking place 3rd to 9th February 2025 that can help become the catalyst for further conversations
